Come along for this 5- night leisurely paced omiyage weekender discovering the best of Hokkaido. There is shopping, The Sapporo Autumn Festival, sightseeing, incredible foods, and “leaf peeping” as nature decorates the land in an explosion of glimmering gold, burnt-orange, and blood-red.


We begin in Hokkaido’s capital, Sapporo, one of Japan's most cosmopolitan cities. Its wide streets and tree lined boulevards give the city an almost European feel. Coffee shops and cafes proliferate throughout the city and the center is packed with a fantastic range of shops, restaurants, and bars. After a day of exploring the city, you can get your energy back over a hot meal and the delicious liquid gold, Sapporo beer.


There is more yet, as we venture to Asahikawa, Hokkaido 2nd largest city. On the way, an all-important stop at Sunagawa Highway Oasis. It is truly a shopping oasis, everything Hokkaido is here under one roof and duty free!


Enjoy foliage colors at Hokkaido Shrine and Ueno Farm, an English-style garden in Asahikawa. Much more yet, lunch at Asahikawa Ramen Village, a sake brewery visit, Nikka Whisky, and fruit picking. We have added two new shopping adventures, Nihon shoyu factory tour, and a drive along Sunagawa Sweet Road, historically known as Highway 12, the main route between Sapporo and Asahikawa. 


No Hokkaido tour is ever complete without a visit to Otaru, a romantic port town steeped in a rich history and Shiroi Koibito Park, a theme park by Ishiya, a local chocolate company.
